Simple code:
<div class='container' style='width:600px;'></div>
When I check email in litmus.com - mso 2013 ignore width, div is 100% width on mso 2007, 2010, 2013 client.
In this div I have
<table width='100%'></table>
Is there some know bug with this?
Email clients each render mail differently.
Look at this page to see what you can and cannot send in each major email client
If you are hand coding an email template its really trial and error. Outlook just happens to be the worst of all of the email clients.

HTML emails in Outlook 2016 is ignoring width: auto;. This doesn't happen with the latest Outlook 365 email client; it works as expected using Outlook 365 email client. I tried searching for a solution using a Google search; however, the the issues/solutions reported seem to be a bit different than the
issue I'm having. Also, my HTML authoring skills is very limited currently to adapt a solution for my case.
I was hoping someone could offer the simplest solution to achieve the same result as width: auto; in my html code below. I would prefer to keep the code as close to the example I have as possible.

Trying to send an email with a fake checkbox which works on gmail but broken when receive with outlook
<td style="width: 18px; text-align: center; height: 33px;"><span style="font-size: 18px; color: #000000;"><input id="Practice Account" name="interest" type="checkbox" value="Practice Account" /> <label for="Practice Account">Practice Account</label></span></td>
on Gmail: gmail
on Outlook: outlook
Anyone knows what's missing in the html? or if its even possible to fix?
Thanks in advance.
Microsoft Outlook has zero support for styling lists - so no using images for bullets or even declaring a specific list-style-type for Outlook readers. So a checkbox in a form is not going to work.
https://litmus.com/community/learning/8-outlook-overview
What you could do is to place the form on a web page for people with Outlook. Build the form in email for modern email clients, then wrap it in a conditional statement which hides it from Outlook:
<!--[if !mso]>
*survey form*
<![endif]-->
Create a second conditional specifically for Outlook:
<!--[if (gte mso 9)|(IE)]>
*A link to a web page for Outlook users*
<![endif]-->
Now the form can be used by most of the popular email clients in use.
Good luck.
What do I need?
I need to make all content of the email into a single A4 size Page.
CSS
<body style="height:297mm;width:210mm;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto">
----email content---
</body>
when i try to viewsource email css property were already there.
Problem
when try to print from ms outlook then html content move in 2 page of which my need is 1 page.
working css in browser
when i try to print the same content from browser then im able to get html content in A4 size page.
can anyone suggest how to shrink all content into single a4 size page.
any suggestion is most welcome.
Stop looking for a reason : mail clients are very though regarding CSS properties.
When you write an e-mail, almost no CSS property is accepted.
You can find an exhaustive list here.
After having played around with it a little bit, I can tell you that the best option to send a formatted mail is to create a table and style this table with inline styling.
Good luck with that, you will need it.
I suggest you to write styles in pixels. I have a such big experience in Email markup and Microsoft Outlook really harmful.
And Im not sure that margin: auto will work properly in Outlook.
So, try to write for example:
<body style="height:500px;width:500px;">
The Solution that worked for me In Ms Outlook.
<div>
<!--[if mso]>
<v:rect xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml" xmlns:w="urn:schemas-
microsoft-com:office:word" href="http://" style="yourstylinghere;"
stroke="f" fillcolor="#556270">
<![endif>
your content
<!--[if mso]>
</v:rect>
<![endif]-->
</div>
working on an e-mail template i noticed outlook and outlook.com strips out "margin", my solution is to add additional line for those clients like
<td height="20" valign="top"> </td>
but i would like to use margin on supported clients, so i put this in a conditional block
<!--[if mso]>
<td height="20" valign="top"> </td>
<![endif]-->
Anyone knows if ALL versions of outlook are stripping out margin or is it just some of them (newer ones?)? I read Microsoft dropped support for margin, but I didn' find any information in which version it was dropped.
do i have to use additional condition to avoid older versions of outlook rendering margin like
<!--[if (gte mso 12)]>
to only affect 2007+ for example?
Don't do that -- the idea is you find a solution for the margin that resolves everywhere your supporting. Do not hack or try to condition an email!
margin is not supported in Outlook but, padding is, so use padding!
There is also additional reach arounds you could utilize such as nesting additional tables or using small white images to recreate the space. There is always a solution that you can use across - your email will be much more stable if you find it instead of trying to hack with conditionals.
Also this is a decent reference.
Specific to outlook 2007 info.
But if you really must (sigh).. it is possible; the below is targeting Outlook 2007 specifically:
<!--[if gte mso 12]>
<style type="text/css">
/* Your Outlook-specific CSS goes here. */
</style>
<![endif]-->
the mso 9 correlates with outlook 2007 below is a list of more:
Outlook 2000 - Version 9
Outlook 2002 - Version 10
Outlook 2003 - Version 11
Outlook 2007 - Version 12
Outlook 2010 - Version 14
Outlook 2013 - Version 15
Read More about this.
Note: While this is possible, I still suspect using these will create more problems in the long wrong.
Good luck!
As per the EmailonAcid Article Outlook.com DOES Support Margins.
The fix for this is ridiculously simple. All you have to do is capitalize the "M" in Margin. That's right, changing all of your "margin" to "Margin" will cause them to work properly in Outlook.com.
I've put togethor a simple html email where X 'td' has background images, coded as below...
<td bgcolor="#FFFFFF" width="47" height="661" style="background-image:url(http://mysite.com/_includes/emails/invoice/images/l.jpg); background-repeat:repeat-y;">
 
</td>
My problem is that in Outlook the style isnt applied, from what I've found there's nothing wrong with my code, has anybody any idea?
Thanks
They're not supported.

Outlook actually uses the craptacular MS Word rendering engine for HTML. The bane of every email campaign designer.
